Since our state ticket Is fairly in the
field, we are not in favor of withdrawal.
However, as personal friende of the pro-
hibtion party, unofficlally, we give it as
our opinion that in the interest of the
amendment the success of which lies very
near our hearts, ii would be wise to omit
nominations in all localities i'm the state
for township, village and county offices.
There may be cases where the necessity
of running a separate ticket is imperative,
but such cases are very few.

A Diabolical Deed.

A large crowd assembled in the Meth
Odist church in Holly the other night to
listen to an address on the prohibition
amendment question by w. A. Taylor of
Lansing. Soon after the speaker com
menced talking it was discovered that the
church was on fire. The people rushed
for the doors and scene of confusion en-
sued. Several ladies tainted during the
excitement and a panic seemed imminent.
This, however, was averted and the room
was emptied without serious injury to any
of the audience.
The fire was caused by lighted ball of
RACES soaked i'm kerosene, which some mis-
creant threw under the church floor after
the audience had gathered. A passer-by
saw the blaze and gave the alarm before
the fire had gained much Roadway. The
flames were eXtinquished with but slight
damage to the building.
The incendiary is not known, but a Wig
orous effort is being made to hunt him
down. 1t is charged that anti-prohibi-
tionists are at the bottom of the diabolical
plot, but of course this is mere guess

yiyisecting Dogs.

DR.. B. F. Curtis has been conducting
series of experiments on living ami
mails to ascertain, if possible, the effects
of injuries inflicted on and within the
abdomen, and the best method of treat
ing them. His inquiries are considered
of especial importance by the profession.
His experiments, or vivisections, were
chiefly performed at the Carnegie Labor
atory. The animals were dogs. Among
other experiments the "buffer accident" "
was artiicially produced. The dog,
large one, was given sufficient ether to
be rendered unconscious, and while IN
this state he was placed on the floor on
his back and weight of six, eight, ten
and twelve pounds was dropped on his
stomach in different places from various
heights to ascertain the amount OF force
necessary to rupture the internal organs,
a matter about which there is much dis
pute among doctors, most of whom claim
that great force is required. After the
the weights had been dropped the dog
was placed on the operating table, given
stimulants hypodermically, the cut open
and the extent of the injuries noted.
The intestines were ruptured in several
places, demonstrating that the force re-
ouired was far less than usually supposed.
The ruptured intestines were carefully
scwed up and the abdominal cavity washed
out with an antiscptic solution.
The dog was then taken to the cellar
of the building, where DR.. Curtis had
arranged o dog hospital, which consisted
of vault in which number OF soap
boxes were arranged along either side,in
each of which q dog under treatment
was placed and secured by chain. The
animal referred to above was very sick
dog, but pulled through and was made
the subject of several more experiments
before meeting his death. Almost every
possible accident that can occur to the
human abdomen was reproduced on the
dogs, and every kind Of treatment sug-
gestcd by the most advanced scientific
ideas tried. A large number OF dogs
were made subjects of vivisection, most OF
them finally losing their lives in the
cause of science,-New York World.

Something About the Bicycle.

"You might think that only the legs
would be exercised by riding wheel,
but it is fact that beginner feels the
effects first in his shoulders and back.
The muscles of the trunk, particlarly
about the sides and abdomen, are also
used great deal. Although the action
of the legs appears to be similar to their
action in walking it is found that six
muscles in the calf not used at all IN
walking arc brought into play. You can
work those muscles by rising on your
toes, but in walking they are not exer-
cised. The speed attainable on ordinary
roads in a ride of four or five hours,
taking it comfortably and not trying TO
make record, will average about eight
miles an hour. 1t is good horse that
will keep up that gate. Expert riders
can out-travcl any horse that ever wore
shoes in a Neutrality-suspicious. journey, but
that, of course is feat of endurance.
For practical, reasonable travel, the BIZ
cycle is superior to horse on good roads,
and is by no means a plaything or an
athletes apparatus. 1t is business and
pleasure vehicle, and ought to be consid-
cred in the road laws.-W Western Neos'
